PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is 3M™ Adhesion Promoter K520UV, and what does it do?
3M™ Adhesion Promoter K520UV is a clear liquid that promotes adhesion between automotive paint systems and substrates. It's ideal for use in applications where bonding surfaces may be difficult to bond.
-
How do I apply 3M™ Adhesion Promoter K520UV?
Clean the surface thoroughly with soap and water or a mild solvent before applying this promoter. Apply it using spray equipment or wiping methods such as lint-free cloth, sponge or brush. To ensure proper adhesion, allow the promoter to dry completely before proceeding.
-
Is there any precaution I need to take when working with 3M™ Adhesion Promoter K520UV?
Yes, you should always wear gloves while handling this product, avoid inhalation of vapors and keep out of reach of children. This promoter contains solvents that could harm health if dealt with carelessly - Always comply with warning instructions on package label before use.
Scientific Assistance
Even the best products can use a bit of assistance on occasion, and that's the idea behind the 3M™ Adhesion Promoter K520UV. It's designed to help 3M™ Acrylic Foam and Acrylic Plus Tapes adhere to substrates which are typically difficult to form an adhesive bond against. This includes surfaces to Polyolefin-based substrates such as thermoplastic olefins (TPO), Polypropylene (PP) and EPDM rubber. This acetone solvent dries fast to maximize work time and eliminate downtime. It contains a fluorescent dye that makes it easily visible once applied, and helps technicians to quickly verify that coverage is complete and consistent for a reliable bond. Since formulations and surface energies vary for these materials, each application should be verified through testing.
Better Science for Better Adhesion from 3M
Since 1925 when a 3M lab assistant invented masking tape, 3M has been applying science to life –developing adhesive products and technologies that help entire industries and individual businesses worldwide. The work that began with a single 3M engineer now spans decades and generations and all of it goes into each 3M product developed for automotive OEM, like 3M™ Adhesion Promoter K520UV.
